Your Unlikely Missionary is Back

It has been 5 years to the month since my last post. Five long years. Many things have happened to me in this span of time that caused me to turn my line to God off. I have experienced great highs and incredible lows.

Life happens...

But during this election season God has been weighing heavily on me as I have watched hate, lies, death, hurt and turmoil permeate and dominate my social media timelines.

It made me especially sad that many of the people spewing these offensive things were people who proclaim the name of Jesus.

I would like to say, on behalf of the God that I serve...

I'm sorry!


I knew God was real on a sunny day more than 20 years ago when I felt a hand in the middle of my chest push me out of the path of a speeding taxi. He reminded me again when I was 19 and I had planned to commit suicide. And He reminded me again just yesterday.

When God's hand is on you there is no escaping.

And I can tell you with confidence that the God that I serve is a God of Love not hate; of Inclusion not exclusion. He died for everyone, not just for some, EVERYONE - Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, India, First Nations, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, Christian, Gay, Straight. And now more than ever both you and I need Him and His Love.

So I'm back if for no other reason but to share with you that God is Love because He has been Love to me even when the church and the people of God have failed me. God and church are not synonymous.

Church is full of flawed people as this election has shown. And it is something I have known for a very long time. But that does not mean that God is. I hope that by following my journey you will come to know a God that is Loving, Forgiving, Accepting, Inclusive, and understands you.

I'm not your typical Christian so this will not be your typical blog. Everyone won't like or agree with what I have to say but that is ok too. I'm here for that one boy or girl or woman or man who is lost and alone and at the end of their rope. I have been there, I know how it feels and I know that God has never let me down and He won't let you down either.

I'm Back!

The Unlikely Missionary,

Podcast Episode 3: Living in THE Truth

I started a podcast! We are 3 (three) episodes in. I talked about a Jonah moment over on Facebook and this was it. God had placed on my heart to start this podcast a year ago and I sat in the fish a whole year. But, I finally decided to be obedient and the fish spit me out and I'm so glad that I did. This has been a good ride so far. God is good. Episode 3 is up now. In this episode we talk about truth. In this crazy world we are in today the truth is in the eye of the beholder. We are living in our truth. But God is the same yesterday, today and forever and in God's economy there is one truth, THE truth. Jesus is the way, TRUTH, and the life.  Thanks for listening. The podcast is on all of these platforms. So please listen and rate.

Working Out Your Faith

Working out your faith has resulted in insomnia. At least for me anyway. My word for this year is refocus but I didn't realize God would drop me in so quickly. It's like when you go to the doctor to get your eyes checked and they keep changing the lens until what was blurry becomes clear. That visit takes about an hour of your time. But what happens when your vision has been blurred by years of heart ache, broken promises and disillusionment? That can't be fixed in an hour. It requires a renewing of the mind and that is a life long journey I'm discovering. Pastor on Sunday talked about not looking too far forward. I'm near sighted. Things that are right in front of me I can see easily but the further it is the blurrier it gets, without my glasses. I sometimes forget I need my glasses until I get outside and realize I can't see down the street! Life is like that isn't it? What is in front of you is so clear but t...
